Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of intensity of care, because the individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehab services. Even if this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than many people in treatment need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Partial Hospitalization/Day Treatment

Partial hospitalization, or Day Treatment as it's often referred to as, is a type of alcohol and drug treatment program set up for individuals who need and want a thorough and organized rehabilitation strategy and environment yet don't need 24 hours a day care. It can help make men and women in treatment remain supported during the process without disturbing other day to day activities they might need to sustain while in treatment. Partial hospitalization/Day Treatment is also a possibility for individuals who have completely finished an inpatient or residential program and need assistance with the smooth transition back to an average drug-free lifestyle.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders whilst in rehabilitation in order to find resolution because one often triggers the other. Luckily, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face so that they can not only become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem is often hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the help they need in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility provided by many different drug and alcohol rehab centers in order to help clients pay for rehab where this may not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's fee for rehabilitation might be different and somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay the full price of treatment. Registrars consider other factors apart from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol rehab centers offer payment assistance to help clients who may possibly not have adequate resources to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or total coverage for their stay. For instance, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term program when in fact a long-term facility will be the more ideal choice. To see what payment assistance can be available, for instance a sliding fee scale, check with the center for particulars.
